Have you ever felt let down by those you thought would always be there for you? In this heartfelt episode of the Bite Size Podcast, I open up about my own journey through the highs and lows of my first and second marriages, sharing the sting of abandonment by church friends and the crucial role my faith played in my resilience. I talk about the deep need for genuine, authentic connections and my commitment to being a steadfast friend, embodying the love and support that we, as followers of Christ, are called to provide. This episode is a touching narrative of my healing, self-discovery, and the transformative power of true friendships.
